The 26th day of the Tralee cemetery murder trial saw the presiding judge commence her address to the jury on Wednesday.

Ms Justice Ellen Ring began the day by excusing one of the jurors because of a holiday commencing on Friday. The jury started out last month with 15 jurors, including three substitutes.
